Time to dig out the paints!

I was feeling a bit creative at the weekend so I decided I was going to dig out my paints and paint Bruce's portrait. I can't remember the last time I did any painting even though I love it and I really must try to find time to do it more often. It took me back to my days at art school and although my fella said I was an oddball I carried on regardless and I am actually pretty happy with it (I've threatened to do his next and then a family one of the three of us!). Its not very often I do something I'm proud of but I think it deserves a spot on the wall.





























































































I also took a few more photos of my boy - still waiting to get the money shot for the wall. What do you reckon? You think it looks like him? He's getting big now - he looks pretty chunky here. I think he's fully grown though now.

Life, Oh Life

Just wanted to post a few snaps from everyday life: pics of my home and what I've been up to - not much exciting I'll admit! I'm planning to try out a new recipe this weekend that my Auntie has given me for sticky spare ribs so I'll be posting that over the weekend - looking forward to that. They've given out a pretty poor weather forecast so I think this weekend will be a case of cosying up with Bruce and my new book (The Somnambulist by Essie Fox), doing a bit of home cooking, maybe a gallery tour/pub crawl on Saturday...































Wakey wakey































Got to have a well stocked drinks tray! I'm actually looking to get some sours for making cocktails - I don't suppose anyone knows where I could get them from?































Waiting for the tram to get to work.































A good book and a cup of Earl Grey.































You are a handsome dog Brucie (and so stylish too!)
